Free doughnuts on Friday

by Nicole Weston, Posted May 31st 2006 @ 9:06AM

Friday, June 2nd, is National Doughnut Day. It has been celebrated since 1938, when the day was originally devised to raise funds during the Great Depression. As you might imagine, it was a popular idea. Krispy Kreme, established in 1937, seems to have been participating in this "holiday" since its inception and, to celebrate, will be giving away free doughnuts at most of its US locations on Friday! Customers have a choice of any flavor of doughnut the stores offer, so make your decision wisely. Will it be the famous glazed or the seasonal Strawberries& Kreme?

Is it possible that you could put us in touch with the franchise folks and we could see what it might cost to do a franchise here to support The Salvation Army here in its work among the poor.

God Bless You

Must be all that fat, and sugar, boy they taste so yummy! Plain fresh cake donuts are our favorites, but chocolate iced cake, apple fritters, sour cream glazed also come to visit this home.
